A lot of overseas assignments are awaiting India. One of them is their tour of England in 2014. That tour will be about two months long. India tour of England 2014 schedule includes 5 test matches, 5 ODIs and 1 T20 international game. The test series will start at Trent Bridge and then, the action will move to the historical ground of Lord’s where the 2nd test match will be played. The 3rd and the 4th test match will take place at The Rose Bowl and Old Trafford respectively and then the series will end at Kennington Oval. The five venues which will be hosting the One Day games are Bristol, Cardiff, Nottingham, Birmingham and Leeds. The one and only T20 game will be played at Birmingham on 7th of September.

India would have bitter memories of their last tour of England which was in 2011. They had gone on that tour after a great World Cup campaign, but, they had suffered very badly there. They had played 4 test matches on that tour and had lost all of them. They would certainly not want to perform like that again. That was an absolutely horrible tour for them.

To be successful in England, the teams need to have good fast bowlers and that’s where the Indian team has a few issues. Their fast bowling department is not as strong as it should be. The India tour of England 2014 fixtures could be ‘make or break’ for most of the players in the Indian team.
